Trainwreck Video (MV)

What kind of answer do you give the man
Who's holding down his foot
Pedal depressed to the metal
Frightening, he'd notice if he could
But a long straight ahead
Does not give chance for pause
He's pushing one-hundred and thirty
Reckless abandon without cause

Careening toward nameless objectives
With blinders on the sides
Self-employed, relentless conductor
He's done this his whole life
The moment of clarity is a terror
Of awesome proportions
When your breaks aren't connected
You can't proceed with caution

I am tired of going a million miles an hour
All the time
I am terrified of the crash, of the wreckage I am
Leaving behind
Cause when you're a steam engine rolling off the tracks
A stop at the station feels right

Shovel the coal
This chariot is hot and hungry
And it has no intention of
Letting it's occupant free
The beast is the mind
Racing thoughts unaware of time
The only way to stop on a runaway track
Is a catastrophic end of the line

I am tired of going a million miles an hour
All the time
I am terrified of the crash, of the wreckage I am
Leaving behind
Cause when you're a steam engine rolling off the tracks
A stop at the station feels right

When momentum ends
He finds himself on the pavement
Earns his rest
On this ground
Asphalt hot against his cheek
If he could close his eyes
This peace he could keep
Give in to the wounds
He could finally stay asleep

And through all this objection
He crawls out of that heap
Hands cemented behind the wheel
This peace he cannot keep
Mangled, the machine roars to life
And carries him on his way
And as he gains the speed he knows
He'll crash again someday
